Android 2.3 reviews

  Android 2.3

  • Motorola’s upcoming Droid 4 has just gotten a little more official. Thanks to newly-leaked images, we’ve got a full spec sheet and a good look at its RAZR-esque styling. While previous images had shown off the Droid 4′s face and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the back had yet to be revealed.


  • Japanese manufacturer Kyocera has decided to enter the smartphone market with a handset to cater for those who insist on using their phone in very wet conditions. The Kyocera Digno ISW11K is a waterproof handset which also manages to be thinner than an iPhone.


  • Much ado has been made about Intel and mobile platforms. Following massive sales of the first iPad, Intel wasn’t entirely convinced about bringing its processors to the mobile computing space. Yet, the chip manufacturer had its eye on Android. With plans for Honeycomb, Intel will bring Gingerbread to Atom E6xx series processors.


  • Up until now we’ve only seen a glimpse of the HTC Ruby, expected to officially be named the HTC Amaze 4G. But its expected specs and screen size promised much, and now we finally get to see HTC’s latest Android smartphone in all its glory thanks to it being put on display at an event.

  •  

    The term “Google Phone” is set to get more popular in the coming years now that Google owns a hardware company in the form of Motorola Mobility. It is the only search company to have its own smartphone, or so we thought. There’s now some unexpected competition from Yahoo!.


  • Huawei isn’t exactly a household name in North America, but its smartphones have become increasingly popular in other corners of the world in recent years. The company also raised some eyebrows (in a good way) with its S7 tablet and MediaPad, and now it’s bringing a sleek, new Android smartphone to market.


  • If you’ve been on the fence about buying a new phone, perhaps today’s deal will persuade you. Best Buy is offering the Nexus S phone for free today only. Of course, the store isn’t just throwing free phones to any passersby; there’s a two-year contract that goes with the free phone.


  • The tablet space is filling up fast with devices vying for your dollars, but the iPad seems to be reigning supreme. Below it, many other tablets are carving out their niches. One such tablet is the low-key Andy Pad that has just revealed a couple of price points it’s hard to ignore. The Andy Pad.


  • Motorola released the Droid 3 earlier this month giving fans of QWERTY keyboards a new, powerful Android handset to play with for a couple of years. However, anyone rushing to sign up for a contract and get the smartphone in the last couple of weeks may be a little disappointed to hear you.


  • Motorola has finally revealed the Droid 3 and is listing it with or without a contract on Verizon Wireless. The 3rd generation Droid looks like it could jump to the top of the list for those wanting a dedicated 5-row slide-out QWERTY keyboard included with their smartphone. The 4-inch qHD display (960 x 540) means.


  • The long awaited “Facebook phone” is official. The HTC Status for AT&T made its debut via, you guessed it, Facebook. So what’s so special about this phone? See that blue Facebook button at the bottom? That little button allows you to use various Facebook features with just one click. Handset maker HTC launched a new Facebook page.


  • Earlier today, during the Android Q&A immediately following the Day 1 keynote of Google I/O 2011, there were plenty of questions regarding Google’s plan to merge Android 3.1 and Android 2.3 into a unified Android experience. This experience will be the next iteration of Android, which will be called Ice Cream Sandwich.

  •  

    Google is bringing video chat to Android smartphones. Unlike Apple’s Facetime, which currently only works over Wi-Fi on the iPhone, Google Talk with video and voice chat will not only work over Wi-Fi, but over 3G and 4G networks… if it is supported by the carrier. In addition to working on Android smartphones, the new


  • Always Innovating (AI) has been working on hybrid devices — like its Smart Book — for quite some time, and they’re no strangers to the market. The company’s newest revelation is a little number called Super-Jumbo, which enables the humble, $150 Beagleboard to do some pretty impressive stunts. Well, one pretty impressive stunt, anyway.



  • If you have a Barnes and Noble Nook Color eReader, there’s reason to celebrate. The Nook Color always ran a version of Google’s Android mobile OS, it was just heavily customized for Barnes and Noble’s use. Now, the eReader/tablet hybrid has been updated to Android 2.2 “Froyo,” supports Adobe Flash, and has its own app.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
